Weather Watch | Scholastic.com - 1 views

  •  
    This resource allows students to interact with weather online by experimenting with meteorology tools, conduct research about weather, and create their own weather forecast. I like this tool because it's interactive and the students can have fun feeling like they control the weather.

Weather Wiz Kids weather information for kids - 1 views

  •  
    This resource gives a thorough description how clouds are formed and gives details and pictures about the many different kinds there are. I chose this resource because it is colorful and attentive as well as using appropriate vocabulary, which makes it valuable. I envision using this resource as the basis for an online scavenger hunt where students would learn more about clouds.

Solar System Animation - YouTube - 3 views

  •  
    This is a video that could be used in a 5th grade science class, during an astronomy lesson.  This video is a great visual to show students the actual size of our solar system and the relation of the planets.  This video is well edited with music that is not too distracting like the other videos that I found.  This video could be use during almost any lesson talking about the solar system or galaxies.

St. Louis Planetarium Field Trip - 0 views

  •  
    This is a link to the field trip page on James S. McDonnell Planetarium's website. The planetarium is connected to the Science Center in St. Louis.  They offer planetarium shows followed by a Q&A that would be great for a 4th or 5th grade class to experience.

Solar System Information - 0 views

  •  
    This website could be used in a 5th grade astronomy lesson.  This is an interactive website that students could go to to find out information on our solar system and surrounding areas. You could create a worksheet that could be a website scavenger hunt that the students would have to complete while exploring the website.

Video -- Solar System 101 - 0 views

  •  
    I would use this video in a 5th grade lesson on our solar system.  This video discusses the formation of our solar system and then follows through with information on all of the individual planets.  This video could be incorporated into a science lesson very easily without being too distracting due to the short length of the video.

Planets Book for Early Readers - EnchantedLearning.com - 0 views

  •  
    This is an awesome book that the students could complete over the course of a few days, while learning about the solar system.  The book has a page for each planet in our solar system that requires the students to find out information about each planet.  This is a great activity that allows students to become familiar with the rest of our solar system in a way more hands on than just reading a chapter.

Best of the Solar System   Lesson Plan - 0 views

  •  
    This is another lesson I found that would be great for a 5th grade astrology lesson.  This is a complete lesson that has students do research no computers do gather information on the solar system, after they have been through guided discussions.

Classroom Activities & Resources | McDonald Observatory - 0 views

  •  
    I couldn't bookmark the individual activity but the Scale Distances in the Solar System lesson would be great to use in the classroom to demonstrate and give students a visual on the size of our solar system and the distance between our planets.

Tornado in a Bottle - 0 views

  •  
    This resource explains how to make a tornado in a plastic bottle using only water and dish soap. I selected this resource because I thought it would be a good way to introduce weather patterns that can produce natural disasters. It's fun and interactive and is sure to grab my student's attention. After creating the tornado, I would use it to talk about wind and other weather patterns that can create tornadoes.

Educational Tours :: Saint Louis Zoo - 0 views

  •  
    This site gives information on educational tours at the St. Louis Zoo. The tour can be guided toward a certain theme and are offered throughout the day. This would be a good field trip to take to get the students outside and actually seeing the different animals and being able to identify it on a food chain or web.

BrainPOP | Food Chains - 1 views

  •  
    This website contains a video about food chains and food webs. It explains what producers, consumers, scavengers, decomposers, herbivores, carnivores, omnivores, etc. are. It is very kid friendly because of the colors and easy accessibility. I like this website because it is interactive for young students. I would use this as a resource in my classroom to introduce the topic of food chains because it is a fun video the students will enjoy.
  •  
    This website has activities, videos, and games directly related to food chains. I would use this site for resources and ideas for activities. I would also use it for the videos to show the students to better understand the concept of food chains.

BBC - KS2 Bitesize Science - Food chains : Play - 1 views

  •  
    This is a game/video that shows the food chain. It also uses a fun video and scenario to get the students engaged. I would use this as class and have it on the projector. I like the story line that goes along with the game.

Food Puzzle Chain - 0 views

  •  
    This is a game for students to see the food chain in action. The students choose the correct organism in the chain. I would use this as a game for the students to do on their own during computer time, or I could put it up on the projector and do the game as a class.

    This is a handout that shows the food chain pyramid with pictures and words. I would give this to the students to keep and help them with studying or other worksheets. I like it because it shows the different animals in the pyramid.

    This site includes games, lesson plans, worksheets and activities, and more. This website would be useful to gather information and plan lessons and activities for students. It also has the grade level expectations.

    This link has lesson plans and activities that would useful in learning about food chains. It also has standards, objectives, and rubrics for the teacher to use. I like this link because it will be useful to guide off of for lesson plans, objectives, and activities. You can use the lesson plans and activities, or you can change them for your liking.

Sesame Street - Is it alive? - YouTube - 2 views

  •  
    This video is very engaging and very fun. 1st graders would love the beat, and the rhyming of the words. I think that it would be one of those songs that would be easy to memorize, and something they could refer back to if they want to know if something is alive or not. It also keeps repeating the three main characteristics of living things- eat, breathe, and grow. I could use this either as an introduction since it is so engaging or as a review to end the session.

Living and Nonliving Lesson Plan - 0 views

  •  
    This website was uploaded by BPS Elementary Science Exemplars Project. It is a great lesson plan on how to teach first graders to differentiate between living and nonliving things. This would be a great way for me to introduce the lesson plan to my class. I really like how it still has a lot of pictures to match with the words, in case some readers are not as advanced as others. This lesson plan is very kid friendly, and would be engaging for them, because I could also use several objects in the classroom/around the school to ask if it is living or non-living. After the students gave me their answer, I would then go into characteristics of each living or non-living thing.
